This game is awesome

Xiao Tang said directly: "The foundation's investment last quarter increased significantly year-on-year. This quarter, our plan is to continue to increase investment, but not in terms of quantity but quality."

"Focus on the key points." Gu Qingshi didn't want to hear this.

“The main thing is to increase investment in existing key support targets.”

Xiao Tang's ability to grasp the key points is indeed amazing...

Gu Qingshi was silent for a while, then said helplessly: "Tell me in detail."

“We plan to increase investment in Sea of ​​Depth by 40%, and other games will also be improved to varying degrees.”

"why?"

Tang Manwan thought for a moment and said, "After the information about Fallen Sea was released, the response overseas was good. We think this game may be better than we expected."

After that, Xiao Tang took out the current development report of the Fallen Sea and the market forecast report provided by the Linlang Project Team and handed them to Gu Qingshi.

...Gu Qingshi read it carefully.

The current gameplay of Fallen Sea is a bit like an adventure + simulation business game with a lot of Cthulhu and esoteric elements stitched together.

There are five basic resources in the game: money, health, sanity, inspiration, and knowledge. If either health or sanity reaches zero, the game ends.

Fallen Sea also took into account the suggestions she made last time. The game will give certain benefits and prompts to the player after the first death, so that the player's sanity will not be reduced to zero every time he reads the book.

The puzzle-solving gameplay has also been simplified a lot, with only a few relatively brain-burning puzzles for the big guys to challenge, which does not affect normal gameplay.

The crisis element proposed by Gu Qingshi was also added, that is, the newly added "FBI" in the game. Once the player uses obvious magic, participates in or organizes cult gatherings, or strange things happen around him, it will attract the attention of the FBI.

If a player were to use a large-scale ritual to sacrifice a city, the FBI might use military force to clean up the mess.

The Faceless God Studio also provided a case reference: their employees tried to summon the Sleeping Lord of R'lyeh in the deep sea in the game. In the process of arranging the ceremony, they attracted the "followers of the sea". A large number of fish-man-like monsters came ashore and slaughtered the city, which directly triggered the ending. The federal army used incendiary bombs to purify the entire city, and the ceremony ultimately failed.

Gu Qingshi's eyelids twitched as she looked at this case.

This doesn't look like it can pass the domestic review...

Of course, they did not forget to mention in the list of thanks that the FBI was inspired by Gu Qingshi from Stars.

Gu Qingshi thought it would be better not to mention her name in this crappy game.

She was afraid that if Senior Brother Ge went to jail one day, she would become an accomplice.

Gu Qingshi gave up the idea of ​​adding more money to the game and said, "Let's inject capital into the Faceless God Studio."

Tang Manwan was stunned and asked in surprise, "They won't agree, right?"

Directly injecting capital into a studio is unprecedented in the Linlang Project.

"They'll agree."

Gu Qingshi said helplessly.

Looking at the plot and gameplay, if Fanxing hadn't participated in it, when the game "Fallen Sea" came out, the Faceless God Studio would probably be in trouble.

Gu Qingshi really appreciated Fallen Sea and couldn’t bear to see this game die.

Xiao Tang understood the pros and cons and nodded slightly.

Tang Manyan was tidying up the documents on the table when Gu Qingshi suddenly remembered and reminded her, "Remember to have a promotional video for the game that will be announced at the press conference. This press conference will be held at the Black Star Pavilion."

"The one by the lake?"

Tang Manyan didn't expect that this press conference would be held in the villa.

Gu Qingshi smiled and said, "Bring some business to Pei E and the others."

"You have a good relationship with President Pei."

Tang Manyan was somewhat envious of this close relationship.

.........

Speaking of which, Pei E is now riding a horse and looking at the yellow sand with great interest.

Li Xiaomeng was wrapped in armor, with a huge sun above his head, and he felt like he was going to collapse.

With a whoosh, Li Xiaomeng got off the horse, stuck the scabbard upside down in the sand, sat down on the ground, took off his helmet and breathed out.

The chestnut pony grabbed the red tassel on the helmet and held the helmet in mid-air.

Pei E turned her horse's head and said with a smile: "Xiao Meng, you are very weak."

"It's too hot, let me take a break."

Li Xiaomeng threw a tantrum and didn't want to move.

Pei E knocked Li Xiaomeng on the head with the scabbard and asked, "How do you feel?"

Li Xiaomeng said sadly: "You came here to experience the march, why did you call me here? I'm not from the development department..."

That's true, she is from the slacking department.

Li Xiaomeng now just wants to go back to Le'an as soon as possible and crawl into her warm little home.

"This is the last day, so I asked you to come and experience it." Pei E laughed and never mentioned that she wanted to persecute Li Xiaomeng.

While the two of them were chatting here, An Yan also arrived at the place. She dismounted and let the master from the stable lead her. She took off her helmet and started chatting seriously with several key personnel such as the producer, director, head of the development department, and chief planner of the planning department.

At this time, An Yan was still wearing armor and looked serious, looking like a female general fighting on the battlefield.

Li Xiaomeng took a break and came over, only to hear An Yan say, "Have you seen the character movements and attack feedback sent from Panshi?"

"I saw it and felt something was wrong, but I couldn't put my finger on it."

This is what the chief planner of the planning department said.

The development manager next to him had technical experience and immediately pointed out: "The movements are not realistic and give people a poor viewing experience. Do you remember your reaction when you rode a horse for half an hour some time ago?"

The chief planner was stunned for a moment, then managed a few words, "It's very tiring. My butt and thighs hurt a lot, my knees are sore, and I can't breathe."

The development manager patted his breastplate and said, "That's right. When you ride a horse, you have to breathe a lot. After riding for a long time, your muscles and joints can't bear it. At the same time, the workload on your heart is also increased, and your body should be shaking noticeably. Look at what they did. It's obvious that they were lazy. They didn't separate the man and the horse for detailed work."

The chief planner picked up his phone and watched the demonstration video sent by Panshi again. Sure enough, the cavalry in the video seemed to be glued to their horses and did not react at all.

But he still couldn't help asking: "That's true, but it shouldn't make the impression so bad, right?"

Li Xiaomeng came up to them and reminded them, "The sound effects are not right."

Chapter 293 [Western Region 30K]

"Sound effects?"

The chief planner didn't expect this, and he has never planned this kind of action game before, so it's understandable.

The development manager and the supervising director both gave Li Xiaomeng a thumbs up.

An Yan said: "Go on."

Li Xiaomeng was not polite and said, "The boss knows this better than me. She told me that whether in the game or in real life, you have to use all your strength when fighting. Use all your strength."

"It's already like this in a fight, not to mention risking your life on the battlefield. Did you see that consultant sister swinging her knife before?"

An Yan didn't notice that the remaining three strong men nodded at the same time.

Who wouldn’t watch this?

"Although she swung the knife with her arms, her legs were dug into the sand, her waist was lowered, and all the muscles in her body were exerting strength. Sometimes she even shouted loudly to intimidate the enemy. The sound came before the blade. Look at the cavalry in the video again. The shouting was not as loud as Qingshi scolding her stupid teammates to use more strength..."

The chief planner recalled it and it seemed to be true, so he gave Li Xiaomeng a thumbs up.

The wise are the teachers, and Li Xiaomeng indeed knows more than him in this regard.

However, it is understandable that Rock is made like this. They should have made it according to "Lexington". "Lexington" is a CRPG with a top-down perspective. Players standing on the God's perspective will not pay too much attention to the actions and feedback of the protagonist and other characters, but it is different for "Mount & Blade".

Mount & Blade is a game with an over-the-shoulder perspective, and it can even be switched to the first-person perspective. At this time, every move of both the player character and other units will become quite obvious.

Many loopholes that are not obvious in "Lexington" will be magnified several times in "Mount & Blade".

The chief planner thought for a moment and sighed, "No wonder the director insisted on letting us experience the experience of marching and fighting. That saying is true: knowledge gained from books is shallow, and one must practice to fully understand it."

An Yan did not take the responsibility for this matter, but said: "This credit does not belong to me, this is President Pei's suggestion."

"We have to thank President Pei very much."

After An Yan finished speaking, she turned around and went to find Pei E.

The development manager laughed and added, "We have to thank the boss. If the boss hadn't arranged for Mr. Pei to come here, we wouldn't have discovered such a big problem."

Several people agreed with this.

Gu Qingshi certainly didn't have the foresight to predict this, but she must have had some other purpose in sending Pei E here.

Otherwise, why would Pei E, an outsider, be invited to Fanxing's paid vacation?

An Yan is more straightforward and likes to stick to the rules, while Li Xiaomeng is too lazy and doesn't want to make decisions. Pei E, who is both unconventional and in a high position, can reconcile the relationship, make up for An Yan's indecisiveness, and bring out Li Xiaomeng's extraordinary wisdom!

This is indeed the case. As soon as Pei E came, she suggested experiencing marching and combat, which allowed An Yan to discover a major problem in the development process; she dragged Li Xiaomeng to suffer so that Li Xiaomeng could give full play to his subjective initiative.

Is this all under the boss’s control?

How great is Gu Qingshi!

Three people at the scene were reciting poems silently in their hearts, An Yan was looking for Pei E on the side, and only Li Xiaomeng had a confused look on her face, not knowing why the atmosphere suddenly became sacred.

..............

After the desert cavalry march experience was over, Li Xiaomeng followed Pei E back to Le'an.

The remaining work for the third part of the development was to continue the digital modeling of cultural relics and the development of Mount and Blade, and at most to make a promotional video. None of these had anything to do with Li Xiaomeng, so she left.

Hurry and leave this place of sorrow and bitterness.

But she didn't expect that she would be summoned by Gu Qingshi just after returning to Le'an.

Li Xiaomeng was so tired that she was too lazy to go to the studio to deal with Gu Qingshi. She just lay on her bed and video chatted with Gu Qingshi.

When the camera was turned on, Gu Qingshi took a look and saw a pitch-black bedroom, which had the feel of a dark and otaku girl.

Gu Qingshi smiled when she saw Li Xiaomeng's world-weary expression.
